2017 · Enduro-offroad
The 2017 Rieju Tango 50 represents a key entry in the 50cc enduro-offroad segment, catering to younger riders and those seeking a lightweight, accessible machine for mixed-terrain exploration. As part of Rieju's long-standing Tango lineage, this model builds on a reputation for practical and fun small-displacement motorcycles. In its category, the Tango 50 faced direct competition from models like the Beta RR 50 Enduro and the Yamaha DT50R, all vying for attention among riders looking for their first taste of off-road adventure combined with street legality.
At its heart, the Tango 50 is powered by a reliable Minarelli NG engine, displacing 50.00 ccm (3.05 cubic inches). This two-stroke unit is a common and well-understood powerplant in this class, known for its simplicity and ease of maintenance. The motorcycle maintains a dry weight of 100.0 kg (220.5 pounds), making it highly manageable for novice riders and contributing to its agile feel. Fuel capacity stands at 6.30 litres (1.66 gallons), offering a decent range for local adventures and trail rides without frequent stops at the pump.
Riding characteristics of the Rieju Tango 50 are firmly rooted in its enduro-offroad categorization. The upright riding position, typical of this segment, offers excellent visibility and control, whether navigating urban obstacles or traversing light trails. The seat height, at 830 mm (32.7 inches) in its lowest adjustable setting, provides a comfortable reach for a broad range of riders, instilling confidence. Its light weight and nimble handling make it adept at quick changes of direction, while the suspension setup is designed to absorb the undulations of unpaved surfaces, offering a compliant ride.
The Rieju Tango 50 is primarily aimed at new riders, particularly teenagers obtaining their first motorcycle license, or those seeking a lightweight, low-maintenance machine for light trail riding and urban commuting. Its robust construction and straightforward mechanics make it a practical choice for learning the ropes of motorcycling, both on and off the asphalt. For riders seeking an approachable and enjoyable introduction to the world of two wheels with an off-road bias, the 2017 Tango 50 offers a compelling package.
